About

Do you love water? Swimming in it, staring at it, boating on it, lying next to it, listening to it? Then you’ll love this 1,900 square foot house with rear southwest exposure. It sleeps six, with one king bed, one queen, two twins and two bathrooms. It also comes with a two-car garage.

But for the true charm you have to go around back to the lanai, with its heated pool and view of the waterway. And by view, we mean the postcard kind, the kind you can stare at from morning, when the palm trees and clouds reflect off its mirrored surface, to afternoon, when the sun sparkles off the rippling waves, to evening, when you sit on the dock watching the sun go down.

Since you’ll be spending so much of your time out on the lanai, it comes equipped with a gas grill to barbeque lunch, a shaded family-sized table and plenty of pool chairs. It also comes with a blender. Actually, the blender’s in the kitchen, but the tropical blended drinks you make will most likely be enjoyed out by the pool or on the dock at sunset.

Speaking of the kitchen, it’s fully equipped with all the appliances and cookware you need, from a refrigerator, stove and microwave to a toaster, coffee maker and that aforementioned blender.

The theme of the furnishings is total comfort. The air conditioning and cushiony sofas and chairs make the ideal respite from all the activity outside. Watch cable on the big screen television. Go online with the free wi-fi or simply sit back and take in the view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the bedrooms, you’ll find wrought iron framed beds beneath windows that offer picturesque views in the day and warm soothing winds at night.

All this and you haven’t even left the house yet. Countless great water adventures await you at the world-class beach of Marco Island. Take a parasailing cruise for a bird’s eye view of the ocean. Go on a shelling cruise. Or how about a jet ski tour of the Everglades? The house is conveniently located near the Shops of Marco, where there’s something for everyone, from souvenir shops to salons and spas to clothing boutiques and plenty of restaurants.

The water here is amazing and so is the house. So come on in.

We had a great week at Marco Island. The home is in a great location close to everything. The home was spotless and fully loaded with everything needed for a week away from home. Sitting on the dock, we saw Dolphins, Sting Rays, and several friendly Iguanas. We will definitely consider a trip back.

We spent 10 nights at this property and enjoyed it very much. The interior is very much as pictured and we found everything well stocked and comfortable for our stay. We did have issues with using the washer & dryer as there was no guide provided and I think this would be a valuable tool for all properties. Just a quick "Usage guide" for renters to refer to instead of guessing how to set a machine.
The pool area is very comfortable and scenic and we found the pool to be nice and warm and inviting. Some folks have commented on noise from the road but we did not find that to be an issue at this property. We liked the closeness to Goodland as we enjoy several restaurants there. The main bedroom and adjacent bath were quite comfortable and roomy. I would definitely return to this property in the future

Booked this property less than 24 hours prior to arriving and couldn't have been happier. Property company was very responsive and easy to work with. The house itself was well maintained with a great pool/lanai. I was a bit apprehensive because there weren't many reviews posted but we'd definitely rent this again.

The property was perfect. Great location, no more than 10 minutes to everything.

The pool was clean and well kept. Perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.

The dock was very convenient. Made it easy to pick and drop off people/beach supplies from our boat rental.

The layout was great. The master bedroom was separated by the kitchen/dining/living room. Created nice separation so we didn’t feel like we were right on top of each other.

We are interested in renting 1550 Galleon Ave Marco for Feb 2022.

The property was as described, clean , comfortable, well maintained etc. Only issue, the pool heater was turned off and we had to wait almost 2 days for the pool to heat up.
Now, there was an obvious miscommunication on part of the property management. It seems that someone forgot to mentioned that we were taking our service dog to the house. We got several extremely rude calls and text messages from either the owner of the house or someone in the property management because of this miscommunication. This person was trying to kick us out of the house in the middle of our vacation. We were treated like LIARS. We had to forward all our communication emails, where our service dog was mentioned and approved to come in order to avoid being kicked out. After we proved that we were authorized to have the dog in the premises; no one apologized to us. In fact, they wanted to do an inspection of the house in the middle of our vacation; to which we paid no attention. Again, we are not sure if the person threatening us was the owner or someone in the property management but its something that should have been handled in a professional way only by the property management. I guess, they forgot we were the customers.

Many good things. House layout was very good. Pool was a lot of fun. Having a dock was great for fishing. Nice sunsets from dock. Property was clean.
Rental agency was helpful when we checked in.
Concerns:
lots of road noise-Barfield is a very busy street
a number of annoying little things_
rafts and floats were pretty pathetic- We had to buy more.
only one folding chair to put on the dock to watch the sunset. We had to buy one.
These are minor things ,but a vacation rental should have those.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for the review! Please note that this property is not equipped with pool toys/floats, so please feel free to bring your favorites next time to enjoy in the sparkling pool overlooking one of Marco’s beautiful canals. This property includes beach towels, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella for your use at Marco’s spectacular beaches, just a short ride away. We look forward to having the opportunity to work with you in the near future.

We had a fantastic time staying here over Christmas and New Year
The house is lovely, with plenty of seating and dining options but as the weather was so good we spent most of our time outside, enjoying the pool, sunsets and fishing from the dock
The bikes were a great bonus and we used them to cycle to the shops and Tigertail beach
The management company were very pleasant and efficient to deal with and would definitely use them again when returning to Marco

One can tell that the owners also seem to spend their holidays there. The staff of Marco Island Vacation Properties is easy to work with, very responsive and friendly. If we come back next year, we would definitely book this house again.

Another wonderful stay at this lovely house. It really is a perfect holiday rental.
Exceptionally clean and very well equipped. It is exactly as the photographs show.
There are beach chairs and a beach umbrella as well as bicycles if you have the energy to leave the pool side. The pool is suitable for children as it doesn't get too deep and you have sunshine from early morning until sunset. There is also a great shaded area. I would say that a house phone would be useful, as a previous review has mentioned, but only as we are from outside the USA.
The rental company are a dream to work with and they keep in touch, which is reassuring when you are travelling from the UK. Their app is worth downloading. Thank you Andrew, we will be returning as soon as possible.

What a great month and a half at 438 North Barfield Drive! This house is ideally located away from the busy areas of Marco yet convenient to everything you want or need. The house is spacious, well appointed, clean and easily accommodated our family ages 7 months to 70 years! The gathering areas provide comfortable spots to watch tv or read and relax. The dining table easily accommodates a large dinner but we ate poolside every night! The beds are very comfortable and the sheets and towels were of high quality. The pool was a huge hit and very kid friendly. Although we only caught a catfish or two, fishing off the dock was great for our youngest anglers.
Andrew and the owner were extremely responsive to a few minor requests and issues and we felt like they absolutely cared about our needs as much as we did. We have already booked for next year and highly recommend this property.

We spent Thanksgiving Week 2014 at Marco Island. This is an ideal vacation home for a family reunion. The house is extremely well furnished and is ideally located on a quiet waterway. everything in the house was new and of high quality. The owner seems to have supplied everything needed for a family holiday. One minor disadvantage is the road out front. It can become very busy at certain times of the day. However this did not bother us because it was quiet at night and our days were spent around the pool at the back of the house.
We had one small incident when a leak at the kitchen sink occurred on Sunday Morning. We immediately called the Marco Island Vacation Properties' help line. Their handyman arrived within the hour to assess the problem. He then arranged for a plumber to fix the leak.
We would certainly consider renting this property again if we decide to return to Marco for a future family get together.

A wonderful home from home! Exactly as described on the website.
This house is spotlessly clean and well equipped. It is very spacious and well set out. The photographs do not do it justice. The beds are new and very comfortable and all of the appliances are also new. Generally it is well equipped.
We had a wonderful vacation in this home and thoroughly recommend it.
Two points we think the owners need to adress: the master bedroom is warm despite the air conditioning unit keeping the rest of the house cool and it would be useful if there were some beach chairs and a beach umbrella available for use.
The management company is excellent and deal with the booking and any other queries efficiently and promptly.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We love Marco Island and will not hesitate in returning to this property on our next visit.

We stayed for 12 days and we enjoyed every moment of the house. The kids felt at home, they fished almost everyday.
The house was big enough for the 5 of us, the only thing is that the master bedroom was hot.
